Justin Verlander isn’t racking up the strikeouts like normal (he has two), but he’s making effective pitches and getting outs. The Yankees hitters look lost against Verlander, as they have against all Tigers starting pitching so far in this series.
One has to think that since Verlander is in the zone, maybe this one run is all that’s needed. Hopefully the Tigers hitters can provide a little more breathing room, though, so that they don’t have to count on Verlander to throw a complete game.
